Essential Questions

How have the Common Core State Standards

impacted language arts literacy instruction and

will they lead to the future success of

students?

Essential Questions

What is a research-based

approach to reading and

writing instruction for all

students and aligns to

the Common Core State

Standards?

We already know that…

Common Core State Standards raised

the bar for expectations for literacy

learning of reading and writing.

“It is safe to say that across the

entire history of American

education, no single document

will have played a more influential

role over what is taught in our

school.”

“The Common Core State

Standards have set the bar to a

height that no one teacher, no

single year of teaching, can

attain.”

We already know that…

Many districts have

adopted the workshop

model for reading and

writing instruction.

We already know that…

Teachers have concerns that they

will be evaluated on a workshop

instructional model to meet the

demands of the Common Core.

What does it look like and sound like when students are doing

• the work of thinking?

• the work of learning?

• the work of achieving?

• the work of becoming part of a learning community?

WORKSHOP!

Why WORKSHOP?

• Student choice

• Student voice and ownership

• Student responsibility for learning

• Reading, writing, and thinking for long, uninterrupted chucks of time

• Building a community of learners

What conditions are necessary

for literacy learning to occur?

Questions for Research

What are the key features of the

reading and writing workshop that

support the growth of literacy skills?

Questions for Research

Does instruction using the reading and

writing workshop model align with the

rigors of the Common Core State

Standards?

Let’s reflect on the writing workshop…

Writing needs to be taught like any other

basic skill, with explicit instruction and

ample opportunity for practice at all grade

levels.

Page 21: Lois J. Hagie, FEA Presenter The Workshop Model in a Language Arts Classroom Rising Stars Summer Institute “Leadership for Learning” July 22, 2014

Lois J. Hagie, Rising Stars Summer Institute "Leadership for Learning" 21

Let’s reflect on the writing workshop…

Almost every day,

every child needs

writing instruction in

the form of a mini-

lesson and time for

actual writing

throughout the day.

Page 22: Lois J. Hagie, FEA Presenter The Workshop Model in a Language Arts Classroom Rising Stars Summer Institute “Leadership for Learning” July 22, 2014

Lois J. Hagie, Rising Stars Summer Institute "Leadership for Learning" 22

Let’s reflect on the writing workshop…

It is necessary that during writing time, children write for stretches of time to develop volume, stamina, and self-sufficiency.

Page 23: Lois J. Hagie, FEA Presenter The Workshop Model in a Language Arts Classroom Rising Stars Summer Institute “Leadership for Learning” July 22, 2014

Lois J. Hagie, Rising Stars Summer Institute "Leadership for Learning" 23

Let’s reflect on the writing workshop…

Assigning children to write responses to prompts is not the same as providing students with a planned, coherent structure for writing.

Page 24: Lois J. Hagie, FEA Presenter The Workshop Model in a Language Arts Classroom Rising Stars Summer Institute “Leadership for Learning” July 22, 2014

Lois J. Hagie, Rising Stars Summer Institute "Leadership for Learning" 24

Let’s reflect on the writing workshop…

Children deserve to write for real, to write the kinds of texts that they see in everyday life: nonfiction chapter books, persuasive letters, stories, lab reports, reviews, poems.

Page 25: Lois J. Hagie, FEA Presenter The Workshop Model in a Language Arts Classroom Rising Stars Summer Institute “Leadership for Learning” July 22, 2014

Lois J. Hagie, Rising Stars Summer Institute "Leadership for Learning" 25

Let’s reflect on the writing workshop…

Children need to know that others have written the same genre they are working on and can use that work as models.

“What did that author do that I could try in my own writing?”

Page 26: Lois J. Hagie, FEA Presenter The Workshop Model in a Language Arts Classroom Rising Stars Summer Institute “Leadership for Learning” July 22, 2014

Lois J. Hagie, Rising Stars Summer Institute "Leadership for Learning" 26

Let’s reflect on the writing workshop…

Children compose

meaning by

putting their

thoughts on

paper.

Page 27: Lois J. Hagie, FEA Presenter The Workshop Model in a Language Arts Classroom Rising Stars Summer Institute “Leadership for Learning” July 22, 2014

Lois J. Hagie, Rising Stars Summer Institute "Leadership for Learning" 27

Let’s reflect on the writing workshop…

Children will invest themselves in

their writing if they write about

subjects that are important to them.

Page 28: Lois J. Hagie, FEA Presenter The Workshop Model in a Language Arts Classroom Rising Stars Summer Institute “Leadership for Learning” July 22, 2014

Lois J. Hagie, Rising Stars Summer Institute "Leadership for Learning" 28

Let’s reflect on the writing workshop…

The easiest way to support investment

in writing is to teach children to choose

their own topics most of the time.

Let’s reflect on the writing workshop…

Children need to see models of proper

spelling and strategies of good writing.

Lois J. Hagie, Rising Stars Summer Institute "Leadership for Learning" 30

Let’s reflect on the writing workshop…

Children deserve to

be explicitly taught

how to write!

The Workshop Model

A writing workshop needs to have a clear, simple,

predictable structure. Children need to know what

to expect. A typical writing workshop has a

defined structure: mini-lesson, work time, and

debrief, a time for sharing the new learning.

Students receive direct whole-group instruction in the form of a minilesson and a mid-workshop teaching point. The teacher explicitly names a skill that proficient writers use that is within reach for most of the class, then demonstrates the skill and provides students with a brief interval of guided practice using it.

As students write, the teacher provides feedback that is designed to move students along trajectories of development. The feedback is given through one-to-one conferences and small group instruction, and includes instructional compliments and teaching.

In Conclusion

• Students must be participants in their own learning process.

• Teachers need to monitor student learning , provide feedback, and let students know when learning is successful.

In Conclusion

“The quality of writing can be achieved by

mandating explicit instruction,

opportunities for practice,

centrality of feedback,

assessment-based instruction, and

spiral curriculum that have all been

the hallmarks of rigorous writing workshop instruction.”Page 112 Calkins et. al.
